SHAFAQNA (Shia International News Association)- After this praise of God he would supplicate by calling down blessings upon God’s Messenger Praise belongs to God , who was kind to us through Muhammad ( God bless him and his Household ) to the exclusion of past communities and bygone generations , displaying thereby His power , which nothing can render incapable , though it be great , and nothing can escape , though it be subtle . He sealed through us all He created , appointed us witnesses over those who deny , and increased us by His kindness over those who are few . O God , bless Muhammad , entrusted by Thee with Thy revelation , distinguished by Thee among Thy creatures , devoted to Thee among Thy servants , the imam of mercy , the leader of good , the key to blessing , who wearied his soul for Thy affairs , exposed his body to detested things for Thy sake , showed open enmity toward his next of kin by summoning to Thee , fought against his family for Thy good pleasure , cut the ties of the womb in giving life to Thy religion , sent far those close because of their denial , brought near those far because of their response to Thee , showed friendship to the most distant for Thy sake , displayed enmity toward the nearest for Thy sake , made his soul persevere in delivering Thy message , tired it in summoning to Thy creed , busied it in counselling those worthy of Thy summons , migrated to the land of exile and the place of remoteness from the home of his saddlebags , the walkway of his feet , the ground of his birth , and the intimate abode of his soul , desiring to exalt Thy religion and seeking help against those who disbelieved in Thee , until what he attempted against Thy enemies went well with him and what he arranged for Thy friends was accomplished . He rose up against them seeking victory through Thine aid , becoming strong in spite of his weakness with Thy help . He fought against them in the centre of their cities and attacked them in the midst of their dwellings , until Thy command prevailed , and Thy word rose up , though the idolaters were averse . O God , so raise him , because of his labours for Thy sake , to the highest degree of Thy Garden , that none may equal him in station , none may match him in level , and no angel brought nigh or prophet sent out may parallel him in Thy sight . And inform him concerning his Household the pure and his community the faithful of an excellent intercession , greater than what Thou hast promised him ! O Keeper of promises ! O Faithful to Thy word ! O He who changes evil deeds into manifold good deeds ! Thou art of bounty abounding !
